Chapter 41: The Miserable Black Bone Ancestor

Lu Tianyu was instantly dumbfounded.

There's even this kind of trick—hiding a Storage Ring inside the skull!

"Young friend, spare me!"

Black Bone Ancestor pleaded pitifully, "I can sign a Soul Contract with you, be your dog, do whatever you want me to do!"

"I also know the hiding places of many treasures. I can tell you how to obtain them."

The energy within his body surged toward the Bahuang Heaven-Devouring Cauldron like floodwaters bursting through a dam, rushing in with a whoosh.

And faster and faster!

If this continued, in less than a quarter of an hour, all the energy within his body would be drained dry.

What he had to do right now was first get Lu Tianyu to stop, then think of a way to escape.

Swish!

Lu Tianyu waved his hand and put away the Storage Ring, saying coldly, "You, a dignified Cave Void Ancestor, begging for mercy like this makes me look down on you."

"But no matter how you beg, it's useless!"

"If I spare you, who will spare the countless innocent people killed by you!"

"You wanted to annihilate my Donghuang clan, so be prepared to be annihilated yourself!"

While speaking, he not only did not stop, but instead accelerated his urging of the Bahuang Heaven-Devouring Cauldron.

This scene made Bahuang Laozu, who had rushed over, feel his scalp tingle!

Black Bone Ancestor had been trapped by Lu Tianyu's order to him.

At the time, Black Bone Ancestor had threatened him in every possible way. He felt a twinge of fear, worried that in a year the Spirit Stones would run out and he would face retaliation from the Nether Three Sects.

He knew how hard the Vajra Divine Bones were, and that he truly could not do anything to Black Bone Ancestor.

He had just vented his anger and was about to come back to explain the pros and cons to Lu Tianyu, but never expected to see this horrifying scene.

The incomparably arrogant Black Bone Ancestor was actually begging Lu Tianyu for mercy, his posture lowered to the extreme, more obedient than a grandson.

If it were him, faced with Black Bone Ancestor begging like this, he would immediately agree and directly place a Soul Restriction on Black Bone Ancestor to control him.

After all, Black Bone Ancestor was a Cave Void cultivator; not killing him had many benefits.

First, he could be his dog, helping him fight.

Also, he could hold the Kulu Zong in check so they wouldn't act rashly, or take the opportunity to exchange for a large sum of Spirit Stones to ensure the Bahuang Demon-Suppressing Formation operated normally.

But right now, Lu Tianyu showed not the slightest intention of letting Black Bone Ancestor go—he was going for the kill!

How could this not make him feel fear? After all, he too was now firmly under Lu Tianyu's control.

"Ahhhh!"

Black Bone Ancestor struggled violently, screaming hysterically: "Boy, you're finished, you're done for!"

"You'll bring down heavenly punishment for this, you'll die a horrible death!"

"The Black Demons will catch you, flay you and refine your soul, make you unable to live or die!"

"Let me go!"

"There's something wrong with your brain!" Lu Tianyu shook his head slightly: "Struggle harder, that way you'll die faster!"

At these words, Black Bone Ancestor immediately shut his mouth.

Indeed, the more he struggled and screamed, the faster the energy within his body drained away, and the more painful it became.

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Lu Tianyu's mouth: "That's right, obediently accepting punishment is also a kind of enjoyment for you."

"Hold on, it'll be over soon. Persistence is victory!"

"Ah!" Hearing this, Black Bone Ancestor's eyes rolled back and he fainted from sheer rage.

He truly could not endure this process of being treated like a lab rat, watching helplessly as his blood was drained and he was killed.

These were things he had done to others in the past, but now the tables had turned, and he had become the lab rat.

Most infuriating of all, he was being done in by a good-for-nothing with no cultivation at all, who had only practiced the Body Tempering Art for a few days.

Seeing this, the corner of Bahuang Laozu's mouth twitched violently a few times, and he stood there not daring to move.

After another moment.

Crack crack crack!

Black Bone Ancestor's dantian shattered, and dense streams of black Qi poured out like a nest, all rushing into the Heaven-Devouring Cauldron.

"Ah!"

Black Bone Ancestor was jolted awake by the pain from his dantian, glaring weakly at Lu Tianyu: "Boy, you're so vicious, you won't die a good death either!"

Pop pop!

His two emerald-green eyeballs suddenly burst apart, transforming into two green arrows that shot toward Lu Tianyu's eyes.

Impossible to guard against!

They were about to hit Lu Tianyu's eyes.

Bahuang Laozu cried out in alarm: "Saint Son, be careful!"

Lu Tianyu said coldly: "This is your last struggle. I'll leave you a shred of dignity!"

He lightning-quickly took out the Xuanxu Mirror to block the green arrows, and shouted: "Devour!"

The two green arrows were instantly pinned in place, then turned around and flew toward the Bahuang Heaven-Devouring Cauldron, being completely absorbed into it.

"Ahhhh!"

Black Bone Ancestor roared furiously: "You, you, what is this cauldron of yours?"

"It can devour anything!"

At this moment, all the energy within his body had been completely absorbed, leaving him as meat on a chopping block.

But he still had one last trump card—to use his powerful soul to seize Lu Tianyu's body.

But he didn't dare do that right now—he had to lure Lu Tianyu into recalling the small cauldron before he could attempt a body seizure. That small cauldron was far too bizarre.

Unexpectedly, Lu Tianyu looked at him with a smile: "Were you planning to seize my body while you had the chance?"

"When I said I'd leave you the last shred of dignity, I meant I'd let you seize my body."

"Go ahead, come seize my body."

"If you don't seize it, I'll use the Swallowing Heaven Cauldron to devour your divine soul, and even that last shred of dignity will be gone for a Void Traversing cultivator like you."

Lu Tianyu crooked his finger in a beckoning gesture.

And he walked step by step toward Black Bone Old Demon.

The moment those words left his mouth, Black Bone Old Demon froze: "What did you say?"

"You're letting me seize your body? Are you out of your mind!"

Even as he said this, his heart was ecstatic.

You little punk are a complete idiot, letting me seize your body of your own accord—a newborn calf fears no tiger!

Watching Lu Tianyu walk toward him step by step, he roared: "I—seize..."

"Seize!"

Then his divine soul left his body and flew above Lu Tianyu's head.

But the very next instant, he was pinned in place by a divine-soul pressure no weaker than the Great Vehicle Stage, unable to move a muscle.

Black Demon Ancestor's soul-body trembled violently as he stared at Lu Tianyu in terror: "Seize... seize is impossible, I was only joking!"

"Ah! No, no..."

"Let me go, let me go!"

A suction force dragged his divine soul toward the Bahuang Swallowing Heaven Cauldron; he had no power to resist at all.

Lu Tianyu smiled faintly: "You can go ahead and die in peace!"

"Don't worry—your Kulu Zong will definitely be buried with you!"

He pointed a finger at the Swallowing Heaven Cauldron, about to refine the Vajra Divine Bone, when Qian Gu Nu Di's voice rang out in his mind: "Husband, don't rush to refine it."

"First refine Black Bone Ancestor's divine soul, awaken the artifact spirit of the Bahuang Swallowing Heaven Cauldron, then refine it."

Lu Tianyu's eyes lit up at her words: "Many thanks, Empress!"

The moment his words fell, Qian Gu Nu Di's displeased voice rang out at once: "We've been Soul Dual Cultivating for a hundred thousand years, and you still call me 'Empress'—can't you have a little romance?"

"Your woman betrayed you; I am now your woman. You can deny it, but that's the fact!"

Lu Tianyu's body swayed, and he hurriedly sat cross-legged on the ground to begin refining Black Bone's divine soul.

To his astonishment, he discovered that through the Swallowing Heaven Cauldron he could actually read Black Bone Ancestor's memories!
